Patek Philippe Twenty~4 watches

The Patek Philippe Twenty~4 is a women's watch, launched in 1999 as a steel quartz model with a cambered rectangular case on a cuff-style manchette bracelet. The design drew on Art Deco, and the name refers to a watch made for every hour of the day and night; the launch campaign asked "Who will you be in the next 24 hours?"

The three launch models, ref. 4910/10A, have a 25.1 by 30 mm steel case with two rows of diamonds along its sides, applied Roman numerals XII and VI, diamond hour markers and the E15 quartz calibre; their dials were named Forever Black, Eternal Gray and Timeless White. Rose gold versions such as the 4910/11R followed in 2000. Diamond-paved models came next: the 4908 with baguette-cut stones in 2002, and in 2003 the 4909 with brilliant-cut pavé and the hand-wound calibre 16-250. From 2004 the 4920 put a gold case on a satin strap, and in 2012 and 2015 Patek made five unique pieces each year, among them the 4909/107G Foliage and the 4909/103R Hearts.

In 2018 the Twenty~4 Automatic, ref. 7300, moved to a round 36 mm case, 10.05 mm thick, with sweep seconds, a date at 6 o'clock, 160 diamonds in two rows on the bezel and calibre 324 S C, the first automatic movement in the line. Steel versions carry blue, black or olive green dials, the olive green arriving in 2021. Rose gold versions have a sunburst chocolate brown dial, a dial toned to match the case, or a silver dial with a satin finish that imitates Shantung silk.

In October 2020 the quartz manchette got its first major change. The steel 4910/1200A replaces the Roman numerals and diamond markers with applied white-gold Arabic 12 and 6 and trapeze-shaped markers, with luminous hands and markers, on a blue or grey sunburst dial. In 2021 the rose gold 4910/1201R brought gold back to the manchette, with a sunburst chocolate brown dial.
